Chai (Alive)
By Ofra Haza
English Translation:
Alive
Listen, my brothers, I’m still alive
And both my eyes still look into the light
Many are my thorns, but also my flowers
And I have countless years ahead of me
I ask and I pray
It is good that hope is not yet lost.
A song is passed from generation to generation
Like an eternal spring
I ask and I pray
It is good that hope is not yet lost.
Alive, alive, alive
Yes, I’m still alive
This is the song that grandpa sang yesterday to dad
And today it’s me
I’m still alive, alive, alive
The Nation of Israel is alive
This is the song that grandpa sang yesterday to dad
And today it’s me
My days are active
As do my nights
And in my skies, the pillar of fire still stands
I’ll sing forever
I’ll reach out my hands
To my friends from across the seas
I ask and I pray
It is good that hope is not yet lost.
Alive, alive, alive
Yes, I’m still alive
This is the song that grandpa sang yesterday to dad
And today it’s me
I’m still alive, alive, alive
The Nation of Israel is alive
This is the song that grandpa sang yesterday to dad
And today it’s me
Listen, my brothers, I’m still alive
And both my eyes still look into the light
So kudos to all my guests
And to my sons who ask to return
I ask
And I pray
It is good that hope is not yet lost.
Alive, alive, alive
Yes, I’m still alive
This is the song that grandpa sang yesterday to dad
And today it’s me
I’m still alive, alive, alive
The Nation of Israel is alive
This is the song that grandpa sang yesterday to dad
And today it’s me
Alive, alive, alive
I’m still alive, alive, alive!
